DISPLAY-Box FOIR'NECKWEM.v

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,343, dated July 21, 1903.

Application iiled June 25, 1902. Serial No. 113,149. (No model# To @ZZ whom, t may concern,.-

Beit known that I, JoEn HENRY LoUDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Elgin, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Display-Boxes for Neckwear, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to display-boxes for neckwear, the objects in View being to so construct a box as to adapt it to display the neckwear of the ready-made variety in a tasteful and convenient manner and preserve the same against mussing and injury either by careless packing or arranging during transportation or while on sale.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointedout in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a portion of a box provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view through one of the posts or blocks. Fig. 3 is a detail in plan of the blank of the lower or stationary section after scoring and before folding.

Similarnumerals of referenceindicate similar parts in all the figures of the drawings.

Within the display-box 1, which is of the usual constructionandpreferably formed of pasteboard, are located the tubular or hollow posts, blocks, or forms 2 and Lt,the latter being at the ends or sides of the box immediately adjacent to the side walls'thereof. Between the blocks 2 and 4 and 2 and 2 tie-receiving spaces 5 are produced.. The shapes of the blocks or forms shown of course may be Varied from `the polygonal shape herein employed, all in accordance with the style of ties to be accommodated. In the present instance, being adapted to display the style of tie commonly known as four-in-hand, the forms are irregular in cross-section, being substantially polygonal. Likewise may the number of forms 2 be increased in accordance with the width of thebox, and also the forms herein shown 'may be duplicated'at the other end of the box. Be this as it may, however, in order to facilitate the manufacture, cheapen the cost, and facilitate the securing of the several forms in position I prefer to construct otherwise.

each of two sections-to wit, a lower stationary tubular orhollow section 6 and an upper removable tubular or hollow section 7. Inasmuch as the forms 2 and 4 are similarly constructed, a description of one will suffice'for that of the other.

Referring more particularly to Figs. 2 andV 3, 8 designates a blank, preferably of pasteboard, and the same is oblong, as shown, and at suitable intervals, in accordance with the number of sidesv given, the form is transversely scored, as at 9, upon which scoringlines it is subsequently folded, so that its two ends meet. Within the frame or band thus formed is fitted a bottom piece l0 of a shape corresponding to such folded blank, and over the meeting edges is pasted a reinforcingpiece of muslin or paper, as at 11, so that these parts are all firmly united. This completes the construction of the stationary section of the form, and it will be seen that it maybe produced at little expense and labor.

The 1 bottom of the section thus made may be securcdvto the bottom 12 of the display-box by any suitable means whatsoever-as, for instance, by an ordinary eyelet 1.3 or pasting or The upper and preferably removable section of the form is similarly constructed from asuitable blank of pasteboard scored and folded to form the band portion 1l, which corresponds in shape to the lower Y section and is adapted lto be slipped over the same, its lower edge resting on the bottom 12 of the display-box, to which` it may be glued,

if desired. Within the upper end of the band n 14 is fitted a top l5, and the whole has a cover "16, of preferably glazed paper, pasted theref over and by which these parts are firmly' united. 'lhiscompletes the forms 2, and, as before stated, the forms 4 are likewise con,- structed, and a detail description of the latter is not necessary.

It will be understood that the shapes -in cross-section of these forms may be varied at will.

Any material suitable for their con-fstruction may be employed, and any means'- IOO Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s-

l. The herein-described display-box for neekwear, the same comprising a series of forms each of which consists of a, tubular or hollow bottom stationary section permanently secured to the bottom ofthe box and an upper tubular or hollow teleseoping section removably fitted'thereover.

2. The herein-described display-box for neokwear, the same comprising a. series of forms, each consisting of a lower section resting on the bottom of the box, and an upper removable telescoping section, :ind an eyelet passed through the bottom of the box and the bottom of the lower section.

3. The herein-described form for displaying neekwear, comprising` the lower section 6 of polygonal shape, and having the band 8, bottom 10, and covering ll, and the upper teleseoping section 7, having the band 14, top l5, and covering 16.

In testimony whereof I alx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOEL HENRY LOUDER.
